This thread is the culmination of several things. First of all, a Freeper suggested the heading graphic. As I read his description, it set things in motion. If you are that Freeper, please Freepmail me so we can give you proper credit. Of course, all of you recognize the author of the actual graphic - our own Registered. And ... last but certainly not least, our own LBGA who has volunteered to assist me in getting this thread launched.
When I first heard the graphic described, it reminded me of something we did in our church during Desert Storm. We made a large sign-up sheet and pinned it to a wall of the sanctuary. Everyone who had family members being called to the war were invited to place the name of their loved ones on the sign-up sheet. It didn't take long for the list to be filled. Everyday we had prayer at the church, and everyday we prayed for those on the list. EVERYONE ON THAT LIST RETURNED HOME SAFE. Although this is a different war. I believe GOD is still in the protection business, if you're willing to activate your faith for it.
The rules are: No last names, no location (either their base or where they have been shipped), and no rank. These restrictions are important because they might give signals we certainly do not want to give the enemy. The names will be listed in alphabetical order. Please be sure you include the first initial of the last name.
If you are a lurker here and you would like your family member included, you can e-mail me at sawooldridge@earthlink.net. However, I would prefer you Freepmail me - so that means you should sign in and get a Freeper name.
This thread is to allow you to have a place to focus your prayers for your loved ones.

Psalm 91 (Amp). He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty, whose power no foe can withstand. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuse and my fortress, my God on Him I can lean and rely, and in Him I confidently trust. For then He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. Then He will cover you and under His wings shall you trust and find refuge. His truth and His faithfulness are a shield and a buckler. You shall not be afraid of the terror of the night, nor of the arrow (the evil plots and slanders of the wicked) that fly by day; Nor of the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor of the destruction and sudden death that surprise and lay waste at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near you. Because you have made the Lord your refuge and the Most High your dwelling place, there shall no evil befall you, nor any plague or calamity come near your tent. |
